Is anyone anywhere surprised by this? Model characteristics + target market combine in the worst way.

Having a private jet is an automatic disqualified, in my opinion. For one, he's just going to be eaten, so no use as an elected.

Hooray! I have been embracing all signs that people are getting fed up with #TheGreatEnshittification and taking collective action! I hope this inspires more rebellion against the capitalists slurping at the trough.
Nathan Kalman-Lamb@nkalamb.bsky.social · 6d agoUEFA has just unanimously decided to boycott both men's and women's World Cups over FIFA's attempt to sell the global game to private equity. Damn.
Oh shit. If #Kansas voters change how state #SupremeCourt is chosen, #KansasLegislature is going to adopt this playbook once the KS SC is packed with their cronies.
Billy Corriher@billycorriher.bsky.social · 6d agoRepublicans have passed a bill that gives the GOP justices the power to remove Justice Anita Earls and any other judge they don’t like. Right now, a commission decides if a judge violated ethics rules. The new law allows the high court to override its decision. ncnewsline.com/2026/07/29/n... #ncpol
Thank you, @kansasreflector.com for analyzing what repeatedly annoyed me about media coverage during the #WorldCup. As author #EricThomas writes, it said more about those doing the reporting, and *their* biases, than about denizens of #LawrenceKS.
Surprise over Algeria's World Cup welcome shows how media misunderstand Kansas and Lawrence • Kansas Reflector
Some media types frequently saw — if not manufactured — something curious as Lawrence happily hosted Algeria for the World Cup

Living & working in my parents' basement, as dad is in hospice care. Decided to zuzzh-up the egress well I stare at all day. Hoping this fountain will also benefit thirsty #insects. Now to plan for native plants and other stuff that still keeps egress easy!
I know the team that successfully trialled and vaxxed California Condors here in the U.S., and was so relieved to hear NZ native birds are being vaxxed too. Go #NZDOC!
Ninety kākāpō, including new chicks, to be vaccinated against bird flu
The Kākāpō Recovery Programme is positive about the vaccination programme rolling out, as the deadly bird flu arrives on our shores.

Funny. We just *always* kept our physical media, mostly records, made our own digital files from them, and maintained our own server for personal use, even remotely. Never ever switched to a streaming service. We have a huge collection, & never needed a streaming subscription for breadth & depth.
The Verge@theverge.com · 3w ago16.3 million CDs were sold in the first half of 2026 in the US, a 16 percent increase year-over-year.
This admin and its lackeys are just finding every possible way to be EVIL on purpose. How do people even *get* like this? I will never ever understand them.
NPR@npr.org · 3w agoThe Federal Highway Administration quietly stripped bike lanes and other safety recommendations from a key list of best practices. Critics say those measures are proven to cut crashes and save lives. n.pr/4yoz3dD
@kcur.org should interview this author on #UpToDate. It's too late for #KC bc our local and state "leaders" have already sold us out, but we might as well be educated on all the signs of being &$%ed in the coming decades.

(My mom made us go upstairs for supper and I missed this.) Obvi the goalkick sans interference would have, at the least, given Norway defense time to set up. This is some bullshit.

Are the Longs in this for the game or was soccer a means to boost their real estate ventures? I don't fucking trust the ownership class. None of us should. #KCCurrent
I think #kccurrent plays badly when I watch. Maybe I switch games for their sake?
Yeah, after that, I'm switching to only half watching this game.
I'm not even watching #NWSL bc I am adding my energy to the collective psychic pull for #CapeVerde
The utter depths of pettiness of this admin and its lackeys is just so... antipodean?
Jason Scott@textfiles.com · last mo.I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.
For those who want to know more about the heretics down the road here in #Kansas. (Is that the right word? Not Catholic, and official news releases from the Vatican are hard for me to parse.) But yeah, the adherents don't seem great. St. Mary's was a hive of militias in the '90s, I remember.
In this Kansas town, an insular Catholic sect leaves some residents feeling left out • Kansas Reflector
Over 46 years, the Society of Pius X has transformed life in St. Marys, turning into a religious haven for members of the faith and isolating those who aren't.

Outspoken™️@out5p0ken.bsky.social · last mo.On March 26, 2026, during a debate on violence against women in Germany’s Bundestag, left-wing MP Kathrin Gebel was repeatedly interrupted by AfD MP Martin Reichardt. She responded: “Mr. Reichardt, the clitoris has 3,000 nerve endings, and you’re still more sensitive. That’s quite an achievement.”
Meanwhile, in #KansasCity citizens have *no* control, no say, no oversight over this occupying force, nominally called the "city police," yet must pay for that dept's bad, bad, bad behavior. Can't catch actual criminals even when they are already dead (see I70 shooter) but harass/kill everyone else.
Does Kansas City’s 2026-27 budget increase the amount allocated to settling police-related lawsuits?
The Kansas City Council approved $6.5 million for lawsuit settlements against police in its 2026-27 budget.

ha ha ha ha! I had not heard that someone did this. It was an apt protest, and it's so fucking ridiculous that this regime can't take criticism, and then makes the citizens further pay via settlement!
ACLU@aclu.org · last mo.When a DC resident was handcuffed for playing the "Imperial March" from Star Wars while walking behind National Guard troops, @aclu-dc.bsky.social sued. The partial settlement in this case is a win for free speech. We get to mock the government however we want.
Anyone else grow up in a town with a #NewDeal era band shell in the park? My area of #Kansas had so many wonderful public pieces of infrastructure thanks to the various building programs. I'm feeling nostalgic for them all. Beautiful work, that I guess was only ~50 years old at the time!
